1. Leash
It is common sense to walk your dog with a leash. In some cities, you will be fined if you walk your dog without a leash. As for whether to choose a P-leash, a collar or a chest harness, it depends on the dog breed and habits. One thing to note is that some cities will limit the length of the dog leash, especially large dogs generally cannot use a leash longer than 1.5 meters. Check if there are relevant regulations in your city's management regulations.
2. Dog bowl
Whether it is ceramic, plastic, stainless steel or wood, you should at least prepare a bowl for it to eat and drink. Otherwise, if you scatter dog food on the ground every day to feed it, it will develop the habit of picking up food on the ground and that's it. In the future, when you go out for a walk, it will habitually pick up things on the ground to eat. Whether it is dirty or not is secondary. If it eats something poisonous, you'd better pray that the dog is lucky enough.
3. Poop-picking bag/dog toilet/fixed-point defecation training
It depends on the situation. If you are going to walk the dog outside, let your dog poop outside before going home, but remember to pick up the poop, remember to pick up the poop, remember to pick up the poop. I don't care what you use to pick up the poop, whether it is an ordinary plastic bag, a paper towel, or even a few fallen leaves picked up on the spot, in short, remember to pick up the poop and be a qualified dog owner, thank you. If you think it is troublesome to pick up poop outside, it's okay, then train the puppy to defecate at a fixed point at home. This depends on the dog's IQ and comprehension ability, and it also requires the dog owner to teach patiently. Dogs need to be taught. If you don't have the time and energy, then buy a dog toilet. If it doesn't work, buy a basin and pour some sand in it.
4. Dog toys
If you need to go out every day and leave the dog alone at home for 7 or 8 hours, and don't want to go home just in time for the demolition site, then you'd better prepare something for the dog to pass the time.
5. Dog bed/doghouse
This depends on the area or dog-raising habits. In cold places without heating, in order to avoid freezing dogs in winter, at least prepare a blanket for them. In hot and humid places, this is not necessary. You should think about how to keep the dog ventilated and dry. Rattan, bamboo, wood or stainless steel are all fine. Anyway, it is enough to meet the conditions of ventilation, ventilation and dryness. Try not to let the dog sleep directly on the floor. It is too humid and the dog is prone to skin diseases.
6. Locator/recovery collar/positioning chip
Generally speaking, if the dog is leashed every time, the probability of the dog getting lost is very low, but special circumstances cannot be ruled out, such as the collar or traction buckle is loose and the dog breaks free; for example, the dog is stimulated and rushed outdoors, and the dog owner does not hold the traction rope tightly and loses his hand... So products such as locators/recovery collars/positioning chips are to leave a glimmer of hope for finding the dog after the dog is lost. The recovery collar is to customize a badge or collar with the basic information of the dog owner engraved on it and hang it on the dog. If a kind person finds the lost dog, the dog owner can find the dog owner based on the information.
7. Dog food
Common feeding methods are: dog food/cooked homemade/fresh meat and bone/customized fresh food. Calculated by economic cost. Cooked homemade < dog food < fresh meat and bone < customized fresh food. Calculated by convenience. Dog food ≈ customized fresh food < fresh meat and bone < cooked homemade. Calculated by knowledge threshold. Dog food ≈ customized fresh food < cooked homemade ≤ fresh meat and bone. You should make a comprehensive consideration based on your economic ability, time and energy.
